Sundowning

video and digital animations
7min 39sec loop

In the video Sundowning—named for the agitation and disorientation experienced by people with Alzheimer’s and dementia—multiple sunsets filmed across the U.S. gradually give way to the venting flares of petrochemical refineries. Animated with symbols from oil and gas drilling maps, the work connects the shifting light of memory and cognition with the extractive forces that shape our landscapes, suggesting that the vulnerabilities of mind and environment are deeply entangled.
